A combination of low pyrolysis temperatures (225-250 degreesC) and low solution concentrations (0.01-0.02 M) has resulted in the formation of thin solid CuS films. At a pyrolysis temperature of 275 degreesC Cu1.8S films have been obtained. The higher concentration range (0.05-0.20 M) has been found favorable for simultaneous formation of Cu1.8S and CuS. In the two-phase layers the crystal growth of CuS has seemed to be limited, whilst the growth of Cu1.8S has been preferentially favored especially on its (0 0 15) lattice plane.
